What's the latest Atari related thing(s) you've bought on ebay?

[What's the latest Atari related thing(s) you've bought on ebay?]

OK.....Not Atari, but I couldn't help it.

 

A double guitar

[2600 Jr board]

Found a few pics on another thread

[Which version of the 7800 do you own?]

Mine has a square port on the back but there's nothing in it???

[Stupid question about 5200 VS 7800]

Just out of interest, how do the graphics compare on the 5200 and 7800? Don't they both have the same screen resolution?

[Designing a classic gaming console]

I guess the closest thing we'll ever get to a classic console is if Curt & Legacy Engineering make one.

 

I remember reading on an old thread how Atari planned on making a computer called the 'Omni' that could run all Atari's 8 bit games (except the Lynx).

 

It would make a great Flashback type of product, though I doubt Atari would be interested in making it. Maybe Awesome Arcades would make one?

[Apple "Console" coming soon....]

Apples new friendship with Sega suggests that rumours of an Apple console might be true.

I wouldn't be surprised if the games will only be available as downloads, kind of like iTunes.

[Designing a classic gaming console]

There's a Tegra video here:

One article says that finished products which use the Tegra chip will cost between $200-$250. Would that be too much for a classic console?

[Pickedup My First 7800!]

Newer vesions of the 7800 were supplied with a joypad. It's not bad!

[Designing a classic gaming console]

A super fast Atari TT could probably emulate most classic systems including some arcade games from the early 80's.

 

The real question is would an emulator be successful or even legal. Selling a system that relies on other manufacturers ROM data might be seen as encouraging software piracy.

[Looking to get my 1st 7800... what to look for?]

I just bought a 7800 from France with an RGB scart cable and I love it!

 

Just for reference, the Atari 2600 version of Activisions Robot Tank and Space Shuttle doesn't work on my PAL/Secam 7800

[What's the rarest Atari game you have?]

Probably Spider Fighter.

[Single player games on the way out, says Phil Harrison]

I think he's got the right idea about creating embedded communities, I mean, just look how popular the Atari Age forum is

[Apple "Console" coming soon....]

My personal fantasy would be for Apple to buy the Atari name and assets and release a console with an Atari nameplate.

Actually, that's a really good idea. They certainly have the business sense to make the Atari brand successful.

[Can a low cost game system exist today?]

i was thinking today with the cost of the new game systems like the

360 and psx3 being so high if a cheap alternative game system could exist

in today's market?

A fast Atari Jaguar with an upscale chip might do well. An innovative controller would also add to the appeal, just as the wiimote has done for the Nintendo Wii.

[what do you want the FB3 to be?]

I want the FB3 to be a DS sized miniature laptop with a USB connection, SD card slot, midi sequencer software...and maybe a vocoder.

 

[What would a 100% original and unopened 7800 be worth?]

Can we see a picture of the sealed 7800? Pleeeaaase

[Question - FB2 Portable?]

I did not buy any fb2's when they came out, mainly because I did not know that they were actual atari 2600's.

I didn't buy one because they never made a PAL version

 

I hope that future versions are multi standard. I know it means more work for the designers, but it's worth it in the long term as multistandard console can be sold anywhere in the world.

[Microprose is back]

So is Microprose owned by Curt or Legacy Engineering?

[8bit Aliens Game for PC]

You can find it here:

[Will the Wii Virtual Console ever support Atari Games, Arcade Games?]

Is there any way to transfer files from a Wii to a PC or Mac using the USB port?

[Official Atari Death Watch Thread]

I wonder if, with all the new management and name change, they'll redo the logo. I like the current one, but they should really change it. The current one seems kind of tarnished IMO.

How about this one.

[Will the Wii Virtual Console ever support Atari Games, Arcade Games?]

I'd love to see MAME or Stella on the Wii.

[Photo quality GTIA mode?]

Yes, GTIA 256 colors mode 80x96 res mode.

Those 256 colour pictures are really impressive

[what do you want the FB3 to be?]

I'd like a 5200/800XL hybrid with a usb socket in a DS style case.

 

...and I reckon that Atari should start selling the original Flashback 2 chip to TV manufacturers so it could be built into LCD and plasma TV's as well as set top tuners.

[Atari's Landfill Adventures, I now have the proof it's true.]

Hey Hey....My My....this thread....will never die!

 

There's too much evidence to let this thread die, including an incredibly clear photo of Jack Tramiel at the landfill
